'''Vault!''' is an endless platforming game released on July 22nd, [[2015]] for iOS on the Apple App Store and for Android on the Google Play store and Amazon App Store, and on browser on September 25th, 2015. The player plays as a [[Characters (Vault)|character]] with a pole that uses this pole to vault over platforms.

==Gameplay==
The player controls a [[Characters (Vault)|character]] holding a long stick. Tapping and holding will cause the player to press their stick down and push themselves up into the air, moving the player in an arc. Letting go of the tap will cause the player to hold the stick up and finish the vault. The player dies if they fall off the stage or are unable to finish their vault.

If the player dies, they can continue by watching an advertisement (can be used once per game) or paying fifty coins, although this fee goes up for subsequent deaths.

==Cameos==
*{{Spoiler/trivia|A [[Robots (Platform Panic)|Panic bot]] from [[Platform Panic]] appears as a playable character.}}

==Glitches==
*If the player dies in the section with two [[Interactive objects (Vault)|springs]] and buys a continue, they can restart from the area the second spring is located, however, the player cannot pass this point. 
*Rarely, immediately during the countdown after buying a continue, the player's character may be spawned at the very bottom of the screen behind a platform and end up dying when the countdown starts as they are not present on a platform.

*When the player moves at a very high speed, the game will start to lag and the player's pole will lag behind the player.

==Trivia==
*Unlike Nitrome's previous cross platform releases, ''Vault!'''s icon displayed on [[Nitrome.com]] is not identical to the app icon for mobile devices. The Nitrome.com version retains a portion of the game's background, whereas in the mobile icon, King Edward is seen against a bright green backdrop.

*The [[Characters (Vault)|player]] can touch interactive objects or hazards when dying.
*{{Spoiler/trivia|This is also true for [[Panic bots|Panic bot]], even though it explodes.}}
*On the front page of [[Nitrome.com 2.5]], in the "FEATURED" section, the icon for Vault does not display the game's logo.
